Ingrid & Ein's Discussions

Background for those not familiar: I got Ein as an adult a year ago. She's 4. She's been a dream dog. People always comment about how sweet and well behaved she is. So I've never really had to…Continue

Someone on the corgi subreddit on Reddit lost their corgi a few days shy of his first birthday due to suffocation yesterday. Though I've read on here about the dangers of a corgi getting its nose…Continue

For about a month now Ein's eyes have been tearing up a lot. Any idea what's going on? Allergies? Should I take her to the vet?She doesn't seem to be in discomfort over it (not pawing at her eyes or…Continue

When I got Ein, the breeder said she added fish oil to the food, but I didn't think to ask how much/what form and never got around to making a habit of adding the fish oil myself. But I've read good…Continue

"Ein has the gene that makes her at-risk for DM. (I didn't have her tested for it, but her breeder did when the test became available. I got her as adult, and the breeder let me know before I bought her). I sure hope she never gets DM :("

"She's testing you...just like a little kid. You don't need to be mean but she needs to be reminded that you are in charge. A firmer voice and a quick action to make her do what you want. My tow are 9 and 11 and they…"

Background for those not familiar: I got Ein as an adult a year ago. She's 4. She's been a dream dog. People always comment about how sweet and well behaved she is. So I've never really had to discipline her because honestly it's never really been necessary.So why is she suddenly acting a little, well....sassy and bratty? It's nothing major, just little things like really getting underfoot and begging when we're eating (we don't give her our food and she's never begged before)....and…See More

"I'm usually very vigilant about leaving food bags around, and today I came home, sat on the couch, and found an empty (and wet, from being licked clean) plastic bag of granola. I'm the one that left it on the couch. Ein's okay, but…"

"You probably know more about how this stuff works than I do----but I thought the topicals just need like 36 hours to soak in, and after that the active ingredient is in their body and it doesn't matter if it's washed off. Or is it the…"

"Definitely get a kitten. Oscar is still young enough that they will grow up together and most likely be buddies. We had cats first, and then got Ein as an adult. The cats were totally freaked, even though Ein is pretty gentle with them and leaves…"

"Most vets will let you purchase a single dose of flea meds. If yours won't, call around at different facilities. If they won't do a single dose of trifexis, they might sell a single dose of the liquid kind, like frontline. "

"Is your dog a general therapy dog (like to visit others), or is it YOUR service animal? Only your own personal service animal is allowed in the cabin, and you need a letter from a physician/social worker/psychologist stating the reason the…"

About My Corgi(s):

Ein is a 4 year old tricolor that I adopted on June 21, 2012. She's my first Corgi. She's from Brynayr, and we'd love to meet other Brynayr pups!
Ein's a total sweetheart who loves cats, cuddles, and snacks.

So, during Ein's recovery period from her spay surgery, I knew we might have some trouble with getting her to go the bathroom in the yard, but if she had no where else to go, she had no choice, right? And of course she held it and held it and held it. One call to the vet had a vet tech telling me that it would be okay to drive her to the park where she will do her business. So I did that for a couple days. Then I noticed her spay incision seemed open. I don't know if it was from licking or…

Ein had her spay surgery this morning. Her mommy days are officially over! (Note: I never bred her---but she came from a corgi breeder). The vet sent me a text with a picture of her post surgery. She looked good. She comes home tomorrow. The house is awfully quiet without her!

I'm just curious about how the "cone-of-shame" is going to work in her crate. We crate her at night, and I'm just wondering how the cone is going to fit in there with her. Her crate is pretty roomy, but I'm…

Today we've had Ein for one month! The breeder we bought her from gave us a 30 day trial period (money back if we decided to return her), but there was never any doubt we'd be keeping her. I emailed the breeder a couple days ago and said, yep! She's ours! She's such a sweet girl. We wanted an adult from the beginning---puppies are wonderful, but we really just wanted a calm, adult dog. We tried for a year to adopt a rescue. They were in short supply to begin with, and the rescue…
